Radiant has partnered with Centrus Energy to secure a domestic HALEU supply chain for its Kaleidos microreactors, featuring a five-year refueling cycle.
NANO Nuclear Energy and Enveniam have signed an MOU to collaborate on HALEU transportation, fuel cycle infrastructure, and the commercialization of the KRONOS microreactor.
A new U.S.-Saudi civil nuclear agreement includes provisions for joint HALEU research, potentially raising Saudi Arabia's enrichment ceiling to nearly 20%.
Centrus Energy has commenced domestic HALEU production at its Ohio facility under a DOE contract, positioning itself as a critical supplier for advanced reactors.
The Trump administration's executive orders fast-track NRC licensing and plan to release 20 metric tons of HALEU into a commercial fuel bank. These moves aim to break foreign reliance and accelerate Oklo's Aurora SMR deployment.
The proposed Oklo-Centrus joint venture highlights a co-location strategy to solve HALEU fuel fabrication and deconversion bottlenecks. By centralizing these services, the industry can reduce costs and accelerate advanced reactor deployment.
Oklo Inc. and Centrus Energy Corp. announced plans for a joint venture focused on HALEU deconversion and enrichment services at Centrus' Piketon site in Ohio. The co-location strategy aims to streamline the fuel cycle.
The U.S. Army has awarded $2.2 billion in contracts to deploy HALEU-fueled SMRs at five military bases by 2028. The DOE is directed to supply at least 20 tonnes of HALEU for the initiative.
NANO Nuclear Energy and Enveniam have signed an MOU to collaborate on HALEU transportation, microreactor deployment, and domestic fuel supply. The partnership aims to commercialize advanced microreactors for energy-intensive applications.
NANO Nuclear Energy and Enveniam have signed a non-binding MOU to collaborate on HALEU transportation, uranium conversion, and microreactor commercialization, aiming to strengthen the domestic advanced nuclear fuel supply chain.
Idaho Falls startup Raven-Flint Nuclear has been selected for the DOE's Nuclear Energy Launch Pad to build a pilot conversion plant. The company's proprietary process eliminates elemental fluorine, and its NRC license application has been docketed.
